I would like to use my 2007 Santa Fe, V6, 3.3, for towing some equipment. The Trailer is 500lbs, and the equipment is another 1650lbs, for a total weight of 2150lbs. My manual says that unless the trailer has a seperate braking system I should not tow more than 1650. Can anyone confirm this?
I hate to think of what that's going to do to electric rates! I am very interested in that too. I have heard estimates all over the map, including opinion that the rates will actually go down. The argument is that generating capacity will not need to increase because recharging will be done at night when other demand is low. Therefore, the fixed costs will not increase and will be spread out over a larger number of kilowatts delivered. However, this depends on just how many vehicles are charging at night and on the effects of running the power plants at higher output 24 hours a day so I am dubious.
The SF design is dated, if you like that platform I'd actually recommend a Kia Sorento instead. The Subie is a bit more upscale, but Kia offers a lot of bang for the buck. My brother was shopping and we drove an Optima and a Sportage. We both liked the Sportage better. My brother wanted a manual trans, and that forces FWD, and base models only, so he ended up with a Forester Premium/AWP. Subaru lets you get a well equipped model and still keep the manual. As mentioned above, Subaru resale is proven and very strong: https://www.alg.com/deprratings.aspx 4-5 stars for Subaru, 2-3 stars for Kia. So don't be suckered in by the low price, you should calculate TCO instead, because depreciation is steep. Odds are the Subaru will cost less to own in the long run, particularly a Forester, which is closer to a Santa Fe anyway.
A Hyuandi that old and with that many miles should go for 2K tops. You must remember that their reputation has only improved in rercent years and even that is suspect. If you want a vehicle that vintage, you should be looking at a Honda or Toyota.
Why do you think this is a good deal? Subaru owners have to be stupid or part of a cult! Hyundai Santa fe with all the bells and whistles, V6, SE tow hitch, blue tooth, remote start, etc and a 100,000 mile warranty for $24,500. Why even look at a Subaru?
